Chapter 928 The Search for Peter
Helen’s face lit up immediately. “Are you sure? Then… Should we get the police to help search for this Peter guy?” The moment she finished her sentence, she threw her hands up while exclaiming, “Wait, no! We can’t make a police report! Peter took pictures of Minerva, and he’ll post those pictures up once we make a police report. Minerva’s reputation will be destroyed…”
Sasha was furious to hear Helen’s words. “Mom, you need to consider the situation that we’re in. How could you still be so considerate toward Minerva at a time like this? Look at the way she has treated you so far! You’re too kind for your own good!”
Helen lowered her head in embarrassment. “Minerva’s still young, and she needs to get married in the future…” she muttered.
Sasha was too angry even to speak. “It’s fine, Mom. I can get my friends to look for Peter. You guys shouldn’t be too worried. It’s alright even if we can’t find him. I’ll get Tiger to find you a good lawyer. We’ll definitely be able to resolve this issue!” Matthew reassured them.
Helen nodded gratefully. Matthew is so much more reliable than Liam—I can’t believe I only realized this now, Helen thought. After that, Matthew got Sasha to bring Helen for a meal since Helen couldn’t go home. That night, they allowed Helen to sleep over in the company.
Meanwhile, Matthew headed out to look for Stanley and Tiger—he needed their help to look for Peter. Once Tiger heard about the news, he let out a hearty laugh. “If you’re looking for Peter, then you’ve come to the right guy, Matthew!”
“Why do you say that?” Matthew asked puzzledly.
“Did you forget how he pretended to be the leader of my brother’s company? He used a fake identity to scam people on the streets. My brother was already rather vigilant toward Peter—he ordered me to
investigate Peter’s background back then. Peter’s actually a professional conman. He works with a few other guys, and they are specialized in scamming women in Cathay. Just recently, I had the thought of teaching them a lesson. If you need me to find him, I can hunt him down in just two hours, Matthew!”
Matthew nodded. “Great! I’ll task you with this job, then!”
In less than two hours, Peter was brought directly to Matthew. The moment Peter saw Matthew, his limbs trembled furiously, and he fell onto his knees. “Please let me go, Mr. Larson. I’ll never do it again…” he wailed.
Matthew shot him a glare. “Do you know why I asked to see you? Are you begging for forgiveness without even knowing what you did wrong?”
Peter froze for a moment before he shook his head. “I-I don’t know what it is, but I know that you’re a generous man. Please give me a chance…”
Matthew was speechless. This guy is pretty clever, huh. He went on his knees the moment he knew that something was wrong. It’s no wonder he managed to make a living by scamming on the streets of Cathay for so long! “I can let you go, but I need you to do one thing for me!” Matthew said as he stared into Peter’s eyes.
“What do you need, Mr. Larson? I’ll do anything you say! Like, anything!” Peter uttered hastily.
Matthew chuckled. “It’s nothing that serious. I just need you to help with providing some evidence.” Matthew explained the situation with Minerva, and Peter’s face turned pale once he heard the story. He had never expected the seven million to have been from Matthew’s mother-in-law’s pocket!
“I-I really had no idea that the money came from your mother-in-law, Mr. Larson. I-I won’t ever do such a thing again… Please spare me my life…” Peter started begging once more.
Matthew brushed his words off. “Stop talking nonsense! I just want you to prove that Minerva had indeed borrowed money from my mother-in-law. Can you do that?”
Peter nodded immediately. “Yes! Of course! Sure! I have texts from Minerva, and some of them mentioned that she had borrowed money from Mrs. Cunningham. All of that can serve as proof. It can prove that Minerva borrowed money from Mrs. Cunningham!”
“Excellent!” Matthew gave him a satisfied nod.
